Full time: Hereford 3 - Cambridge City 0

Hereford are through to the fourth qualifying round of the FA Cup after a 3-0 home win over Cambridge City.

They'll be joined in the draw by National League sides after what proved, in the end, to be a comfortable score line against step four opponents. 

Alex Babos broke the deadlock with 15 minutes on the clock, curling home a free kick after being upended on the edge of the area.

A second followed before half time, with Yusifu Ceesay planting the ball past the keeper with a pearler of a shot - with Babos and Adam Livingstone involved in the build up.

Cambridge did threaten throughout the first half and their desire was clear to see, always hot on Hereford's heals. The hosts themselves still lacked a cutting edge up front with Babos in particular still shy about getting a shot away.

But into the second half with the Bulls largely in control, Cambridge came close as Mikey Davies forced Curtis Pond to parry the ball after quickly breaking from corner. Hereford soon reasserted their dominance. With Jack Tolley on for Jordan Lyden, within 30 seconds he drifted into the box with the ball at his feet before planting it past the keeper.

He could've had a second moments later, but after being set-up by Babos, was denied by the keeper's feet.
